    tools/libxc: Fix HVM_PARAM_PAE_ENABLED handling in xc_cpuid_apply_policy()
    
    Despite as suggested in c/s 685e922d6f3, not all HVM_PARAMs are handled
    in the same way.  HVM_PARAM_PAE_ENABLED is a toolstack-only value, and
    the xc_cpuid_apply_policy() used to be the only consumer.
    
    Reinstate the old behaviour (mad as it is) to avoid regressions.
